Question

im facing a problem at this particular line..

echo pack("ssssss", 0×809, 0×8, 0×0, 0×10, 0×0, 0×0);

the error that’s coming is..

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\wamp\www\amc\excel.php on line 20

im not understanding why this is happening cause its the right syntax for echoing the pack function (i referred http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_misc_pack.asp)

could someone help me out here..
PS: i got same error in next few lines where i used same piece of code of echoing pack with exactly same error when i tried commenting this line 20.

Answer 1

0×809 this is not hex number, it contains unicode character ×. You should use simple x in hex notation.

Or just use good IDE that will mark this error for you.
